Hi Daniel, after staring at the log output for a while longer, I now have a theory:

You probably have the permissions of /root set up such that it's non-readable by any non-root user? This would explain the error message because it would not allow the _apt user to perform any operation in any subdirectory of /root including your chroot directory. Can you confirm that mmdebstrap root mode works if you are putting your chroot directory somewhere where also non-root users have read permissions? That would also mean that this is not a new problem but one that always has existed. You probably not attempted to put the chroot into /root before you upgraded to version 0.4.0? You could also test if disabling the apt sandboxing feature fixes the problem for you by adding the following option to mmdebstrap: --aptopt='APT::Sandbox::User "root"' Thanks! cheers, josch
